Question

A client needs assistive technology but cannot pay out of pocket. Which funding approach should the counselor explore?

Accepted Answer

Identify multiple streams such as VR, nonprofit grants, and insurance rather than assuming only client-paid options — AT money is not only whatever is in the client's wallet. VR, nonprofits, and insurance can all be doors—knock on more than one. Diversify the hunt before declaring the tool unaffordable.

Answer

Tell the client AT is available only through personal savings or credit cards

Answer

Wait until the client is employed so the employer must buy every device automatically

Answer

Limit requests to paper pamphlets because technology funding never exists
